@@damnbadger8242 Yeah, that's for sure . But Devon clickbait is always on point 🤣 I’m not sure if John is ready enough to fight Devon if it really happens in December. John needs at least 3-4 months. Anyway, let’s wait and see John strength on October 23rd. John vs Paul Linn 💪
YES! Great news. Loved seeing you two video chatting the other day. Just two GOATS being friendly but respectful of each other and sharing their knowledge. Can't wait for this.
The documentary "Pulling John" was my introduction to professional arm wrestling, and I thought it was great. I love love love that Brzenk is still out there pulling, and Devon is easily my favorite arm wrestler, so...amazing all around.
But it wasn’t clickbait. It’s exactly what I expected it to be. I saw this comment before the video starting, expecting his match announcement but because of your comment thinking it wasn’t. Your comment was more clickbait to me than the title actually. :)
Devon, you are the reason why i got interested in this sport and now i started armwrestling about 2 months ago! Cant wait to see your next match, its going to be awesome! :D
@Chris Terry Canadian military are world renowned. They have a massive lack of funding and equipment, but the training and soldiers themselves are very skilled and known to be really tough
Devin is the kind of guy that can say "I lost because I wasn't ready due to surgery " or "I was confident in my position that John couldn't beat me" and it's not an excuse or bragging . He was just as comfortable saying John destroyed him, John toyed with him ect. Devon is the ultimate competitor, 100% dedicated to victory and equally respectful of his opponent.
I'm a fan of both, but will be shocked if John gets a pin. Don't take it easy on him devon, a match is a match. If he just wanted to pull should have done a practice pull imo. Your striving to face levan so you need to dominate in every facet of the match.
My dude, ive been watching you for only 2/3 months and you are such an awsome guy. Im in the UK and NEVR watched arm wrestling. I love everything you stand for
At this point whether John wins or loses it doesn’t change anything. The man is the goat. He has nothing further to prove except have fun for good old times sake. Both John & Devon are legends in this sport.
Right at the end Devon had to start the promotion of this fight with that little bit of trash talk lol. Made me chuckle. I'd love to see John give it right back and this thing gets everyone excited to watch. I hope this event gets the viewership is deserves.
Ik johns about 10 years older but still in impeccable shape. Lets not forget, Devons not exactly young either lol. I beleive devons about 46 and johns about 57. Again, yea johns older but devons also up there in age. I love Devon, absolutely my favorite arm wrestler. But this is not a freebie for devon as some may think. Itll be a great match. Cant wait to see it
Devon currently competing at the strongest he's ever been though. He just cannot recover as quick as before he's said it himself. John however claims he's not as quick, possibly not as strong but says his hand and cupping strength is still as strong. So basically Devon has the upper hand but breznk still has crazy top roll strength and endurance. Both 10/10 table iq. It's coming down to hand strength and wether or not Devon pancakes up to 300 again
@@Beast-mf7br John even said himself he’s out of shape. So there’s that. 80 year old shoulders, arthritis in hands, slow reaction time, no biceps strength, big stomach gut he’s trying to fix etc etc
Hearing John be your sanity while you were abroad is pretty special Dude. I can't imagine the shit you have been through. I was in high school when a shooting happened, so I kinda have an idea, but I wouldn't compare it with anything you've been through, but thanks for sharing this. I get up every day and pull a band or something. Fight for the complexity of what the next day may bring, it gives me the strength I need to persist in these challenging times.
I think John thinks he was setup in 2008. I know he was really unhappy with the reffing before the first go even. I’ve never seen him that unsettled. Just a guess tho. That match wasn’t a one sided as it looked. John had the buckle before the fairer strap on the first round. There was no way he was winning from that starting position. He stonewalled Devon in a hook the second round. Devon worked on blowing up John’s hand inside and it was over after that. John even said he doesn’t think he could ever beat Devon over six rounds .
@@beemrmem3 its becaue john didn't feel he was fit enough to pull the match, even though right after her went and destroyed the rest of the world. john has never really rated Devon, i've noticed it for a few years. "he's just big levers" etc. I think it hurt John's pride getting swept and he never got over it. so lets say john besat devon when he was newish. then devon beat him when jon wasn't 'ready' then John beat Devon straight after his surgeries. John wants redemption
@@Davidhaiben Its quite a challenge for john considering he hasnt been back for too long, but johns the GOAT and looks amazing since he has come back.

He better be careful though coming so hard after coming out of retirement. I dont want to see him injured, but the guys amazing and i dont doubt him at all. Hope he can give devon a match. Johns looked amazing since coming back, guy is a freak of nature.
John is not is his prime but he did exactly that to Denis so everything is possible... Devon is in a league of his own right now. Think Devon will win but never count out John....
Never rule out John. All he’s done so far is proving people wrong about coming back at this age. Devon is the favorite but John is not as far behind as people say
Nah bro...John looked damn near on his death bed against Dmitry. He was gasping hard for air. Devon is a cardio God on the pad, he will bleed John into submission if he chooses. I don't see anything other than a bloodbath for John, no disrespect.
This is just a hyped up training session. I think John is the goat, but right now he is nowhere near Devons level, I am not really to excited with this match
None of this matters because even if you win, John is already old and past his prime. The story will forever go down in history as John Brzenk beating Devon Laratt in their primes.
Well, I'm torn. Obviously, it's always a thrill to see John and Devon matchup and really who is going to refuse to pull John? Of course Devon is going to say yes and be super psyched. It's JOHN BRZENK. Still, I don't like John's chances at this stage of his career. I hope this doesn't delay any kind of match against Levan for Devon. I really would like to see that. I think Devon has a chance if he's similar to how he was on the day he pulled MT.
@@JOHNSMITH-xx6sg I would of agreed with you until I seen Devon smash Michael. Devon can get bigger than that. I do think he has a good chance again levan but I could be wrong as well. I also thought Dave have a shot but he got wrecked and ran through lol
@@JOHNSMITH-xx6sg Lots of pro armwrestlers are "stronger" than Devon in terms of what they can lift in the gym. I think guys like Dave Chaffee and Michael Todd are both stronger than Devon physically, but Devon's a better arm wrestler than either of them. Levan is definitely a talented arm wrestler as well but I don't think many people would disagree that Devon has the higher table IQ and way more experience. He can compensate for SOME of the strength difference. If he bulks up to 300+ (bigger than he was against Todd) I think he has a chance against Levan. I'd still say Levan is the favorite to win, but I wouldn't count Devon out of the fight, and I'm positive he'll do better than Chaffee did at the very least.
Devon, I love what you have brought to the sport of arm wrestling. You talk a lot of mess but you dont come off to me as cocky. You are a champion and an entertainer. Thank you for your contribution, sir!
@@NittoNba44 actually it is possible he didn't, I do not have any data to back this up, but I think currently are the best paid salaries in the history, as armwrestling is getting more and more rocognition, especially thanks to Larry Wheels
@@NittoNba44 probably a lot of small to medium paydays (like $500-3000) with the occasional low five-figure payday (like $10,000 or $15,000) for some major events. I doubt John is "rich" from arm wrestling. Unfortunately for most of his career it has been a pretty fringe sport without too much mainstream attention, at least not compared to most other popular sports.
Like John said a couple of weeks ago "Maybe I will start hitting those pancakes". This is gonna be a fight. I am sure both of them will show up ready as always. Devon is living his life, getting awesome challenges thrown at him time after time. Congratulations!
This is great and I'm sad for those who think John shouldn't face Devon as yet. Life is more about courage than it is about victories - they have a place, of course, but way overstated in our times. Younger people may see things in a different way and I understand that, but as a 47yo fellow who's had his own struggles I would advise anyone just to be happy that these two champions are going to face each other again. God bless.
@@decondeconinck9616 John isn't stronger in a single fundamental than Devon right now. If Levan goes against the top 65kg guy it doesn't matter how technical the little boy is.
So stoked! The 2 best to ever do it going head to head again. You have this bro. Your the only arm wrestler that has the brain and all around arm wrestling skills to beat him. Congrats. Hoping to see you Wednesday in Kanata. Begging wife to let me go. Stay strong and healthy brother.
I think that no matter what happens, nothing will make John embarrass himself... even if Devon 6-0 him. John is the GOAT. He has achieved everything in this sport and has nothing to prove, to anyone. Devon is in a much better shape than John right now. John isn't in the same great shape he was 5-10 years ago. Not only because of his age, but because he wasn't as active in the sport overall compared to Devon. I love both of them. Big fan of John and Devon, but I don't see John having a realistic chance in this match. I've been surprised before, but I just don't see it happening. Regardless, I just hope it will be an amazing and entertaining match between 2 legends that everybody will enjoy. No matter how this match ends, it will be good PR for the sport of armwrestling, and that's what matters.
@@disruptor6550 yh im kinda sad actually that john is going for devon, so early. He just starting back in shape seems. And vs Chance it was hard and he had lil endurance too. His wrist was even bent i think on one pull, even though he impressively won it. Then chance got beat easily by i forgot who after. Seems 2 months is hopeless idk. I dont know much more about it but i wish john would be top shape prepared for such a challenge. I think he could do it then possibly. I dont want see his comeback halted so soon with a bad loss. Want to see him beat up and coming challengers for now. I wish him best of luck, wanna see him shock all with a surprise win but idk. Also hope its not for the money, im sure he wants to get a chance for his revenge too. And it's a motivating challenge to take on devon. Goodluck buddy.
@@jacquesjtheripper5922 Yeah, I think it's a bit too early for John to take on someone like Devon atm. Not saying it's impossible for John to win, but he'd need a lot more training and preparation to have a good chance. Like at least half a year. 2 months is not enough time to prepare for such a big match...
Oh hell no we want to see you two go at it that's the whole point. So cool for you Devon live your dream brother. This one is so awesome for the old folks I can't wait good luck to both of you
I’m so happy John decided to take his own route with TH-cam instead of going with Igor shenanigans now we have the match we’ve all been waiting for LETS GOOOO!!!
I honestly love Devin's low production quality. It gives him a bit of a serial killer vibe when he's really thinking of someone. John seems like a nice everyman in his videos and Devon seems like he's hunting when he gets a solid challenge. Fun dichotomy
do you k\like seeing John get paid? because that is what is happening here reguardless. Let the goat recieve some something for his illustrious career.
i dont think he can beat devon because johns shoulder isnt good anymore. when he does pulling videos you can see him complaining about it "if itll hold up"
Kings move is good but there's no reason to get lazy and just accept a weaker form just because your sure the kings move will work John has a really strong triceps in case you don't remember. So get super strong and then use the kings move im all for it use the kings move but be super strong while using it lol.
I’m so excited for this match!! Both men are so humble yet downright legendary. More so John!! he used to be on another level. Undefeated for 25 years!
I get it guys, even Devon himself calls John the goat. There are people who do call Devon the goat though and I believe over the next 10 years or so Devon will do some truly remarkable things for the sport of armwrestling. That being said I more so meant 2 of the top guys of all time from North America are going head to head, which is also subjective.
John has matches scheduled against Lynn, Zoloev, Engin and Devon. He's had 2 big supermatches recently, he's the most active competitor in the sport right now. Everyone better watch out, something has lit a fire, he's going on a tear.
@TH-camInsistInBanningPeople He has a match planned with Levan for next year. It would have been this year if not for schedule conflicts. He's not hiding from anything.
Damn this got me so hype! I Luv that last line & the close up - "see you soon old buddy....." DL why didn't you shave your head for this post!!! Super pumped - John is the GOAT but 57 is 57........ 300 Lbs Lex Luther Devon is gonna go thru Brzenk like a run away Locomotive!
Devon knows he ain't proving anything by beating John in this stage of his career. John is way past his prime and he'll never be the same so a win for Devon is not impressive. This is more for making the sport more popular and to get people talking. I don't know if Devon ever beat prime John, but John will forever go down as the greatest of all time. He just accomplished too much in such a long period of time and he destroyed guys that where way bigger than he was.
I just love both of you, you both are one of the most humble and genuine person in this arm wrestling community, may the best person on that day win. I am happy that it is happening again !!!💯
John is doing exactly what he said to Michael Todd about Levan, "go over there and see if you have a chance, than do a rematch", John knows he won't beat Devon now, but it's a lot of money and he will see where he stands( by how much will he lose) then a rematch in a year or whatever
John might be the most accomplished arm wrestler in history, but Devon has developed himself into The Godfather of Arm Wrestling. A husband. A father. A soldier. A hero. A charismatic speaker. A TH-cam sensation. And at the age of 46 years old, the best arm wrestler to ever do it.
Might be? Lol! John is the 🐐 but I think as for accomplishments Devon is second. I'm an American and can say that without hesitancy! Can't wait for this war!!!
John's whole family is amazing at arm wrestling. His genetics and mindset allow him to dominate the sport. I'm not saying he's may not be on something, but it's fun to watch him beat up on guys everyone knows is juicing and going to the gym 5 to 7 days a week, while John sits at work with his tension ball preparing for the match.
there are 2 GOATS, John, and yourself. seeing you both perform over the years, without either of you, the sport would be far less interesting. just keep doing what you do brother
Why can't they make at least ONE fucking match worth watching. I'm so tired of seeing these celebrity matches, with dog shit matchmaking. John is just as competitive with Devon as Larry was with schoolboy and Dave was with Levan. If you know it's going to be 6-0, don't even have the match.
There's really nothing for Devon to gain from this match. If he wins, he gets to beat up a 57-year-old who has only just begun training again. If he loses it's worse and he could become a non-contender in the eyes of Levan and Igor. Wonder why John is even thinking about doing this so early, maybe in a year's time, this would be interesting. It's a non contest at the moment.
Eh, that would be true if it wasn't John Brzenk. You just don't turn down the opportunity to armwrestle John, ever. It is definitely surprising that John would ask for this match so soon after becoming active again, but he must have a plan or know something that we don't. All I know is that I'm excited as hell!
Probably more money in this than any other match up atm. The greatest of all time vs the most popular arm wrestler of all time. People will tune in to watch this. For John, win or lose it's a good move. He's recently jumped into the world of youtube and is trying to build a channel. And the best way to build a channel is with exposure. And what better way than to have a Supermatch with the guy who has the most exposure as a professional arm wrestler in Dubai where he can collaborate and get even more exposure and fans with Larry Wheels. And what if he wins with all those eyes watching? If he loses the only thing he will hurt is his pride. Look at Michael Todd for example. His channel has grown since his loss with Devon. Regardless if the fact he got destroyed. He was a good sportsman about it and won over a lot of fans. The same thing will happen for John.
Classic black and white thinking, it seems like that's all people can do nowdays. It's not any random 57 year old Devon gets to beat up if he beats him and if John wins then he won against someone who loves the sport and someone who is still at the top. And no matter who loses this is what both of them loves to do, this is their passion. Just by having the match happen is probably a great satisfaction for both of them no matter the outcome (of course it would feel better for the winner but up to that point still very enjoyable i'm sure). Everyone just love making everything into these dramas and it's very annoying to see to be honest, it's one of the reasons I barely ever peak the comment section when i'm watching armwrestling or any sport for that matter. Oh and both of them have something to gain from winning this, and that is the satisfaction of winning against another really great armwrestler, a feeling both of them live for. I'm sure it will be an enjoyable match and I look forward to it, and no i'm not a fanboy of anyone, I just enjoy seeing people practise their passion. Edit: Spelling
Best of luck Devon! You both are my favorites, and I mean that truly. He’s my hero and you are my favorite smack talker and table manners guy. I loved the way you whooped MT ass this year

@@JOHNSMITH-xx6sg Lots of pro armwrestlers are "stronger" than Devon in terms of what they can lift in the gym. I think guys like Dave Chaffee and Michael Todd are both stronger than Devon physically, but Devon's a better arm wrestler than either of them. Levan is definitely a talented arm wrestler as well but I don't think many people would disagree that Devon has the higher table IQ and way more experience. He can compensate for SOME of the strength difference. If he bulks up to 300+ (bigger than he was against Todd) I think he has a chance against Levan. I'd still say Levan is the favorite to win, but I wouldn't count Devon out of the fight, and I'm positive he'll do better than Chaffee did at the very least.
Devon, I love what you have brought to the sport of arm wrestling. You talk a lot of mess but you dont come off to me as cocky. You are a champion and an entertainer. Thank you for your contribution, sir!
Whoever wins i just hope John finally gets a decent payday!
That’s why John accepted the match $$. Plus he wants to visit Dubai.
Exactly
You think since he was 18 he has never gotten a "decent payday"?
@@NittoNba44 actually it is possible he didn't, I do not have any data to back this up, but I think currently are the best paid salaries in the history, as armwrestling is getting more and more rocognition, especially thanks to Larry Wheels
@@NittoNba44 probably a lot of small to medium paydays (like $500-3000) with the occasional low five-figure payday (like $10,000 or $15,000) for some major events. I doubt John is "rich" from arm wrestling. Unfortunately for most of his career it has been a pretty fringe sport without too much mainstream attention, at least not compared to most other popular sports.
Like John said a couple of weeks ago "Maybe I will start hitting those pancakes". This is gonna be a fight. I am sure both of them will show up ready as always. Devon is living his life, getting awesome challenges thrown at him time after time. Congratulations!
Devon = no limits
John = over the top
Me = amazed
This a fuckin treat to all armwrestling fan.
Idc whoever wins, i just want to see the intensity, excitement, entertainment etc.
Damn cant wait!
This man is the reason for my obsession with Arm wrestling. He’s a beast. John is great but Devon is my idol.
This is great and I'm sad for those who think John shouldn't face Devon as yet. Life is more about courage than it is about victories - they have a place, of course, but way overstated in our times. Younger people may see things in a different way and I understand that, but as a 47yo fellow who's had his own struggles I would advise anyone just to be happy that these two champions are going to face each other again. God bless.
Great perspective, young man.👍 Well said! Looking forward to it!👊
My brain just exploded man I can’t wait to see you pull John it’s gonna be the greatest match in the history of matches you got this Devon!!!!
Devon is still the champ to me man always will be
It will be the most technical match anyone has ever seen Can’t wait honestly
@@decondeconinck9616 John isn't stronger in a single fundamental than Devon right now. If Levan goes against the top 65kg guy it doesn't matter how technical the little boy is.
@@NittoNba44 I agree Devon has definitely got it and we will see what happens with levan
Devon you are truly an inspiration brother. I could go on and on but im just gonna leave It at that. Thank you.
So stoked! The 2 best to ever do it going head to head again. You have this bro. Your the only arm wrestler that has the brain and all around arm wrestling skills to beat him. Congrats. Hoping to see you Wednesday in Kanata. Begging wife to let me go. Stay strong and healthy brother.
Some legends come and go.. but these 2 legends have never been away.. super excited to see this!
Hope John is ready though. Don’t wanna see him embarras himself
I think that no matter what happens, nothing will make John embarrass himself... even if Devon 6-0 him. John is the GOAT. He has achieved everything in this sport and has nothing to prove, to anyone. Devon is in a much better shape than John right now. John isn't in the same great shape he was 5-10 years ago. Not only because of his age, but because he wasn't as active in the sport overall compared to Devon. I love both of them. Big fan of John and Devon, but I don't see John having a realistic chance in this match. I've been surprised before, but I just don't see it happening. Regardless, I just hope it will be an amazing and entertaining match between 2 legends that everybody will enjoy. No matter how this match ends, it will be good PR for the sport of armwrestling, and that's what matters.
@@disruptor6550 yh im kinda sad actually that john is going for devon, so early.
He just starting back in shape seems.
And vs Chance it was hard and he had lil endurance too. His wrist was even bent i think on one pull, even though he impressively won it.
Then chance got beat easily by i forgot who after.
Seems 2 months is hopeless idk. I dont know much more about it but i wish john would be top shape prepared for such a challenge.
I think he could do it then possibly.
I dont want see his comeback halted so soon with a bad loss. Want to see him beat up and coming challengers for now.
I wish him best of luck, wanna see him shock all with a surprise win but idk.
Also hope its not for the money, im sure he wants to get a chance for his revenge too. And it's a motivating challenge to take on devon.
Goodluck buddy.
@@jacquesjtheripper5922 Yeah, I think it's a bit too early for John to take on someone like Devon atm. Not saying it's impossible for John to win, but he'd need a lot more training and preparation to have a good chance. Like at least half a year. 2 months is not enough time to prepare for such a big match...
@@disruptor6550 time isn't on his side. John is strong enough to give Devon a good match.
He's too old now.
Oh hell no we want to see you two go at it that's the whole point. So cool for you Devon live your dream brother. This one is so awesome for the old folks I can't wait good luck to both of you
Devon "No Limits" Larratt 🍁
Devon is the King and John is the Ace....looking forward to this match. ... really respect both you guys :)
The Legend.. Devon "No Limits" Larratt 🍁
its incredible. i ve watched the whole video with big smile. THATS GREAT. Its great to witness this. I cant imagine for you Devon.
I’m so happy John decided to take his own route with TH-cam instead of going with Igor shenanigans now we have the match we’ve all been waiting for LETS GOOOO!!!
Never was so exctited by watching a video with just one man talking....all this passion for this one match..F#CKING GREAT TIMES
Oh shit, this is wild! Congrats Devon! You’re the man.
You and John need each other, you both make each other great. I can't wait.
I honestly love Devin's low production quality. It gives him a bit of a serial killer vibe when he's really thinking of someone. John seems like a nice everyman in his videos and Devon seems like he's hunting when he gets a solid challenge. Fun dichotomy
Love both of you guys! Much respect to you both! Totally awesome! Thanks for sharing! Heck no! This is great!
“Money is great, but money does not make a champion.” Devon Larratt 💪
Unless you need a truck and money to get your son back from Gramps.
My 2 favorite, going to be a tough match to watch. Best of luck to you both 💪
Honesty I don't like the match... John is way out of his prime It might be a repeat of their 2008 match. I don't like seeing John lose like that ..
then don't watch
@@kalmahgod4166 lol
If john thought that then he wouldn't ask for the match.
do you k\like seeing John get paid? because that is what is happening here reguardless. Let the goat recieve some something for his illustrious career.
i dont think he can beat devon because johns shoulder isnt good anymore. when he does pulling videos you can see him complaining about it "if itll hold up"
Superstar showdown!!! One of the greats matches ever john vs devon
There is the Devon i remember, good to see you back!
John will forever be the 🐐
No matter the outcome.
But super excited.
Devon is the goat Also remember that
This was such a good promo Devon! You did exactly what you foretold.
"THE ACE OF SPADES ♠
AWSOME NEWS BROTHER!
💪🤥👍 🇨🇦 🥞 🍻
whats the story behind ace of spades? i didnt knew about it until now
Kings move is good but there's no reason to get lazy and just accept a weaker form just because your sure the kings move will work
John has a really strong triceps in case you don't remember. So get super strong and then use the kings move im all for it use the kings move but be super strong while using it lol.
Count me in for that, too both you gentlemen I wish the best of luck!! Can't wait for the fight
It took you more than a decade to defeat him , he was something else bro, John is by far the best armwrestler who have dominated for so long.
I’m so excited for this match!! Both men are so humble yet downright legendary. More so John!! he used to be on another level. Undefeated for 25 years!
Absolutely can’t wait man, the two 🐐’s of North American armwrestling going head to head!!!🥞🥞🥞💪🏼🇨🇦
Kenny Omega and Devon Larrat. Lol
@@DropkickNation Yeah man, I’m Devon’s half brother 😉 (I know you see the resemblance in our faces 😂) and part of the Troll Army!!
John is the GOAT 🐐 PERIOD
there are no two goats
I get it guys, even Devon himself calls John the goat. There are people who do call Devon the goat though and I believe over the next 10 years or so Devon will do some truly remarkable things for the sport of armwrestling. That being said I more so meant 2 of the top guys of all time from North America are going head to head, which is also subjective.
That has been one of the most intense Devon I've ever seen! It's gonna be great
John has matches scheduled against Lynn, Zoloev, Engin and Devon. He's had 2 big supermatches recently, he's the most active competitor in the sport right now. Everyone better watch out, something has lit a fire, he's going on a tear.
There is no way Brzenk is beating Devon lmfao
You forgot Hutchings
@TH-camInsistInBanningPeople Do European pullers go to north America? No so stfu
@@codyrw8397 Yes they do.
@TH-camInsistInBanningPeople
He has a match planned with Levan for next year. It would have been this year if not for schedule conflicts. He's not hiding from anything.
the best of the best, both of them, it is the ultimate matchup, love it !!
Now the real Question is this gonna be on StakeKings? Lol 🤣
Damn this got me so hype!
I Luv that last line & the close up - "see you soon old buddy....." DL why didn't you shave your head for this post!!!
Super pumped - John is the GOAT but 57 is 57........ 300 Lbs Lex Luther Devon is gonna go thru Brzenk like a run away Locomotive!
john on 750 mg TRT has made him go full nuts hahahah
This is the only thing, i am looking forward for in december. Hell yeah!!
The way of the giant PUMPKIN 🎃
NO WAYYYY ? THIS IS HISTORIC. DEEP CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TWO GOATS. ONE FOR THE AGES.
I can see the poster..
BATTLE OF THE GOATS
Devon knows he ain't proving anything by beating John in this stage of his career. John is way past his prime and he'll never be the same so a win for Devon is not impressive. This is more for making the sport more popular and to get people talking. I don't know if Devon ever beat prime John, but John will forever go down as the greatest of all time. He just accomplished too much in such a long period of time and he destroyed guys that where way bigger than he was.
I just love both of you, you both are one of the most humble and genuine person in this arm wrestling community, may the best person on that day win. I am happy that it is happening again !!!💯
John is doing exactly what he said to Michael Todd about Levan, "go over there and see if you have a chance, than do a rematch", John knows he won't beat Devon now, but it's a lot of money and he will see where he stands( by how much will he lose) then a rematch in a year or whatever
Mad respect for Devon, for his tireless admiration and respect for John.
"Let's Get Ready to RUMBLE!!" 👊
Devon is the Venom and Wolverine of Arm Wrestling... the Anti-Hero we love lol. Two GOATS having a match... doesn't get better than that.
Hes actually goku
@@TheJewinator 😁💪
in this case John is Carnage. Not the MCU. The cartoon canon one. Nothing else is needed to say.
@@gabriel.trainer 😁
That´s how you promote an armwrestling match ladies and gentlemen! Really looking forward to this match!
John might be the most accomplished arm wrestler in history, but Devon has developed himself into The Godfather of Arm Wrestling. A husband. A father. A soldier. A hero. A charismatic speaker. A TH-cam sensation. And at the age of 46 years old, the best arm wrestler to ever do it.
Besides John lmao
Might be? Lol! John is the 🐐 but I think as for accomplishments Devon is second. I'm an American and can say that without hesitancy! Can't wait for this war!!!
Very well said.
Not the best , even Devon knows John is Jordan , Devon is Lebron. That's isnt a shot at Devon either , it is what it is
Oh? Mac Batchelor had over 3,000 matches and NEVER LOST! That makes Mac the BEST!!
Excellent can not wait for this match, so pumped.
John's whole family is amazing at arm wrestling. His genetics and mindset allow him to dominate the sport. I'm not saying he's may not be on something, but it's fun to watch him beat up on guys everyone knows is juicing and going to the gym 5 to 7 days a week, while John sits at work with his tension ball preparing for the match.
When you get old you need juice to compete 😂 gotta help the body out.
Gym strength doesn't cut it. All of those guys are putting in a lot of time at a table.
Thank you Devon.... Keep being a beast we love it!!!!!
there are 2 GOATS, John, and yourself. seeing you both perform over the years, without either of you, the sport would be far less interesting. just keep doing what you do brother
Devon I love you man follow you on everything from your channel to Juji I would hate to see you lose but I love watching John win. So torn
Rivalry of the century, the two people most relevant to goat conversation, maybe Devon can finally overtake him
Two greats who met before at different times in they're careers. This is gonna be fun. Much luck devon!
Going to be a repeat of last KOTT. Devon wins 6-0.
Why can't they make at least ONE fucking match worth watching. I'm so tired of seeing these celebrity matches, with dog shit matchmaking. John is just as competitive with Devon as Larry was with schoolboy and Dave was with Levan. If you know it's going to be 6-0, don't even have the match.
@Lagia I wanna see Larry vs Evan
Damn that got me fired up Devon I know the respect you have for him but right now he is nothing but in your way!
John’s hand was compromised last match. Needs to work on his wrist strength.
exactly........he had nothing on Dimitry except side pressure
@@engr.h.mbasirijaz1249 he had nothing but yet beat him.
@@Zenzuu Devon is different..........he will defeat john easily
I'll be watching with bells on - can't wait!
There's really nothing for Devon to gain from this match. If he wins, he gets to beat up a 57-year-old who has only just begun training again. If he loses it's worse and he could become a non-contender in the eyes of Levan and Igor. Wonder why John is even thinking about doing this so early, maybe in a year's time, this would be interesting. It's a non contest at the moment.
Devon respects John and that assures a great match with minimal chance of injury. John couldn't ask for better.
Eh, that would be true if it wasn't John Brzenk. You just don't turn down the opportunity to armwrestle John, ever. It is definitely surprising that John would ask for this match so soon after becoming active again, but he must have a plan or know something that we don't. All I know is that I'm excited as hell!
Probably more money in this than any other match up atm. The greatest of all time vs the most popular arm wrestler of all time. People will tune in to watch this. For John, win or lose it's a good move. He's recently jumped into the world of youtube and is trying to build a channel. And the best way to build a channel is with exposure. And what better way than to have a Supermatch with the guy who has the most exposure as a professional arm wrestler in Dubai where he can collaborate and get even more exposure and fans with Larry Wheels. And what if he wins with all those eyes watching? If he loses the only thing he will hurt is his pride. Look at Michael Todd for example. His channel has grown since his loss with Devon. Regardless if the fact he got destroyed. He was a good sportsman about it and won over a lot of fans. The same thing will happen for John.
Classic black and white thinking, it seems like that's all people can do nowdays. It's not any random 57 year old Devon gets to beat up if he beats him and if John wins then he won against someone who loves the sport and someone who is still at the top. And no matter who loses this is what both of them loves to do, this is their passion. Just by having the match happen is probably a great satisfaction for both of them no matter the outcome (of course it would feel better for the winner but up to that point still very enjoyable i'm sure). Everyone just love making everything into these dramas and it's very annoying to see to be honest, it's one of the reasons I barely ever peak the comment section when i'm watching armwrestling or any sport for that matter. Oh and both of them have something to gain from winning this, and that is the satisfaction of winning against another really great armwrestler, a feeling both of them live for. I'm sure it will be an enjoyable match and I look forward to it, and no i'm not a fanboy of anyone, I just enjoy seeing people practise their passion. Edit: Spelling
@@kabiskzor Yeah I agree with this, whatever the outcome both will come out fine and both of them will really enjoy this match.
Oh i cant wait! Dont take easy on him im rooting for you Devon! 💪
He is the king of the kings John Brzenk GOD OF ARMWRESTLING .
Even Gods get old…..
Best of luck Devon! You both are my favorites, and I mean that truly. He’s my hero and you are my favorite smack talker and table manners guy. I loved the way you whooped MT ass this year
John needs to chill. I don't even know if he can handle someone like Wayne Withers or Matt Mask right now
dude... he's John Brzenk!
